On Wednesday September 27, Halifax police sent out a bulletin noting their concern for the well-being of 57-year-old Lynn Anne Bouchard, who was last seen around 9 a.m. in the Hydrostone neighbourhood.
HRP often sends out notices like these — mostly concerning teens who turn out to be runaways — and more often than not there is a mental health component to the situation.

Court papers show that Dartmouth slumlord-turned Caribbean innkeeper Patrick Johnston is due to appear in court later this month to enter a plea on a charge of assaulting his estranged wife.
And police aren’t ruling out the possibility of laying more charges following an incident at a North End Halifax middle school last month.

At first glance, the fourth and fifth Halifax murders of 2008 have a great deal in common.
Less than a month apart, both took place in the city’s North End. Both appeared to be drug-related. And, as of this writing, the murders of Jaumar Carvery and Daniel Newman both remain unsolved.
